Im due for my second cesarean section two weeks from now. After how long can I wear my slimming belt to tighten my tummy. As I did not put on one after my first and my tummy sticks out!

I am not familiar with a slimming belt...but as a life long athlete and nursing student I can say this, if you put a belt around any muscle it will support it so much that it doesn't have to become stronger on it's own...see what I mean? If the ab muscles have something helping to hold them in they will not have to do the work themselves so they will not build up strength on their own. When your doctor clears you, start doing Pilates it is VERY good for the core (internal) ab muscles and they are the ones that pull your tummy in. Good luck on the new one!
